VB.NET APIs on Converting Word File to Raster Images

Here is a brief explanation for VB.NET Word document to raster images converting APIs and methods. First, these demo APIs are totally compatible with VB.NET programming class; second, as you can analyze from the methods, users who adopt this Word converter are supposed to render all the Word document or just specific page to REImage before you can convert the rendered Word page image to the supportable raster image files.
''' Render Word document to get a REImage collection, or choose a specific Word page to render
Private Sub New(imgs As List(Of REImage))
End Sub
Private Function GetPage(pageIndex As Integer) As BasePage Implements DOCXDocument.GetPage
End Function
Private Function toImage() As BaseImage Implements DOCXPage.toImage
End Function
Private Function toImage(width As Integer, height As Integer) As BaseImage Implements DOCXPage.toImage
End Function

''' Convert rendered REImage into other raster image formats using image converting API
Private Sub Convert(s As Stream, format As ImageFormat) Implements REImage.Convert
End Sub
Notes on above APIs & methods:
  • "GetPage": used to load and get all the Word document pages or a certain one from the source Word file in Visual Basic programming
  • "width As Integer, height As Integer": can be called and written for setting the rendered image size, including width & height based on individual requirements
  • "Convert": programmed to convert the rendered REImage to JPEG, PNG, GIF or BMP raster image format in Visual Basic programming
